Extra info:
| |
madpoles are fish that live in the rivers throughout Qud. They specialize in dismembering enemies and have an aggressive base demeanor, meaning that a creature must have greater than or equal to +250 reputation for them to not attack.
On every attack by a madpole, the defending creature must make a Agility save of difficulty 15. If this fails, the creature will be latched onto by the madpole for 3d43-12 (Avg: 7.5) turns, giving the madpole an additional attack on the creature every turn and requiring a strength save of 15 every time the creature attempts to move. The creature must successfully save with strength, difficulty 15 in order to break free from their jaws.[1] In combination of berserk, this makes dismembering two limbs in one turn possible.
If they become covered in 
blood or enter a cell that contains blood, the madpole will go berserk for 10 turns. [2]
The madpole is frenzied by the scent of blood! |
This will give them a 100% chance to dismember with their jaws. Since the bleeding is usually from losing a limb in the first place, a swarm of madpoles will make quick work of any creature.
Tips
- After clearing
Golgotha and receiving the 
♂ scoped masterwork carbine, madpoles can be easily killed from a distance. Due to their high level, they become a good source of experience in the mid to late game.
